If you are a student about to attend, or currently attending college, this book will help you achieve ultimate success! College is extremely challenging and your performance sets the groundwork for your career, and the rest of your life. Just getting-by or graduating isn't enough, especially in this competitive economy where job positions are limited and everyone is fighting to be the best. Yes, good grades are important, but there's much more to it than that. You want to get the most out of your college experience the FIRST TIME around by finding that balance between
-Work and Fun,
-Body and Mind,
-Gratification and Finances.
This book focuses on the three most important roots to a successful college experience: GRADES, MONEY, AND HEALTH.
This is a collection of secrets, advice and personal accounts by a young man who graduated from undergraduate school in 4 years, went straight to graduate school where he was both a teaching assistant and student, graduated with his Master's and Ph.D., and was teaching college classes at age 27. This book is written by an insider who has been there as a student, and has observed and evaluated hundreds of students very similar in age.
This book will empower you to make wise decisions from an academic, financial, biological, and socially savvy standpoint, from someone who understands college culture better than most people.
